I let Pandora out this morning for a while as Tina was going to be out all day and I was catching the bus into Perth. She didn’t run around much, or chase the birds, which was good
The bus journey is very rural but still hit three lots of temporary traffic lights! Some pretty scenery although I was still in danger of nodding off by the time I got there. The bus has a sign that says what the next bus stop is called, Waterloo Post Box amused me and when we got there it was a bus stop, with a sand box for ice next to it and one of the little post boxes on a stake. No village around, a couple of driveway entrances nearby but pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
My main reason for going in was to get a key cut for Darren for the bungalow. There is a Timpsons in Perth which is the second one I have tried, both assistants told me that they hadn’t been taught to cut them yest but they could order one for me. I declined as I have now ordered two from the company and they will be delivered tomorrow.🤞
I had some lunch and went in a few shops. I had two hours in Perth otherwise it would have to be five as the buses are few and far between! I liked this statue.
I went to a building I visited before that had children’s worked on display, the boards today were of a historical nature, but such a great space.
This pretty little garden was by a church next to where the bus stops are.
And you could see the church from the bus stop.
Back home I tried to clear an area by the house to see how much soil there was as I have some foxgloves that need a home.
I don’t know why vicarage’s have so many rocks and stones, but it is quite a challenge. Needless to say very little soil! Pandora was out with me keeping guard.
I put a couple of pieces in the jigsaw. I spent over an hour last night and as you can see, progress is very slow.
I was sitting in the garden and had the camera out with me, the tripod got left in the summerhouse in Hornsea so I was hand holding and the sun was so bright I couldn’t really see what I was taking. But they are recognisable and two you couldn’t have planned for!
Oh to be a cat. Totally spoiled and live the life of Riley 😊
ReplyDeleteI’d nod off on long bus trips. The train isn’t much better. But they must be relaxing or you’d be wide awake.
I really like the Waterloo Post Box story. It all makes perfect common sense when you know. Handy having a bus stop at the end of your drive too.
In a way it’s good that you couldn’t get the keys locally. It means it’s a much safer lock, but the keys aren’t cheap. All worth it in the end though. Hope they arrive promptly.
The statue is unusual, I like that.
Definitely some nice buildings there, and the garden is lovely. Does it have seats?
It’s strange the amount of stones you’ve dug up in both vicarages now. It’s probably due to some sort of vicars punishment. Maybe the have to carry them 😊 That bit does look better though. Shame you still have to find somewhere for the foxgloves.
Progress is slow on the jigsaw. It seems as though it’s harder than the last one you did. But I’ve not heard you curse too much…..yet.
You and Darren need to find some local boot sales. You should find another tripod at one of those. The pics aren’t bad though considering you hand held it. You’re certainly steadier than me!
The garden did have one bench and it was in the sunshine. I was glad to get into Perth again, but I wasn’t bursting with energy today.
ReplyDeleteThere are some lovely buildings and I particularly like the one with the display boards.
The stones are a pain, but I have had plenty of time to get used to them.
Mine wasn’t really a tripod but a pole, but it really did help.
I prefer monopods myself. Not so much trouble to cart around and set up. I've got a walking stick that's telescopic and doubles as a monopod.
